For Texas Blackland clay that won't be mowed, you'll need a challenging Bermuda variety that can handle the soil and the heat. My yard has a patch of Celebration Bermuda, which has thrived despite the harsh heat and my heavy clay soil. It's more tolerant to foot traffic and holds up against the drought conditions we sometimes face. Even with mowing, it can stay calm, which I appreciate for the low-maintenance aspect.
Remember to mow it every 2-3 days. It requires a lot of attention, and remember this golden rule: never cut more than one-third of the grass's height in a single mowing session to avoid stressing the grass. For more tips, check the
bermuda bible. There, you'll find a lot of tips that will help you to take care of it.
